Who doesn’t like the smell of a freshly baked tsoureki bread? This version is soft and fluffy and contains unique ingredients such as mastiha and mahleb, distinct flavours and aromas. This bread is the ultimate accompaniment with your morning cup of coffee or tea.
Mastic or mastiha is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (shrub / small tree), normally found in Greece. Mahleb or mahalepi is a spice made from the seeds of a species of cherry, grounded into a powered form before use.
Our version uses the zest of 1 lemon instead of orange as we find this blends in much nicer with the spices used in this recipe.
